See why i posted that now? Even if Putin publicly apologized to America, the Ukraine and Obama there is ppl in this place that would say it was a brilliant strategical move lol.

Fact is he has lost one of king chairs at the UN and now has the UN breathing down his neck in the ukraine where they were not before. Sanctions to deal with, which do matter, and has burned numerous bridges and in roads he worked very carefully to build with the world community over the years. But hey, he kinda has crimea. And only what? A few thousand had to die, Russian and Ukrainian, to get it? Sweet deal huh?
